Teen arrested after attacking Orange County K-9 for 2nd time, deputies say

Landon Barnes previously arrested in August on similar charge

An Orange County teen who was previously arrested and accused of trying to drown a police dog has been arrested on a similar charge, according to authorities.

Landon Barnes was booked into the Orange County jail on Tuesday morning after deputies arrested him on a burglary charge and attempting to injure a police dog or horse.

Barnes was involved in burglarizing a home on Oakwater Pointe Drive and was running from the area when the K-9 approached him.

Deputies said Barnes wrapped his arm around the neck of the Orange County Sheriff's Office K-9, named Bowden, and tried to choke him for about 30 seconds. Deputies said Bowden will be bruised but is expected to make a full recovery.
